Hiermenus Go Forth, XII - DHTML Lab

For our regular readers, an apology. This version has been a long time coming.
The last month has seen the untimely and extremely unfortunate demise of my day job, another victim of the dot.com
crisis, which means that my energies were not focused on improving the HM script.

We're back with a couple of important improvements.

As always, there is no documentation other than that already presented in previous columns.

But before you click the above link, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

We cannot provide additional use instructions at this time. They will be forthcoming, along with detailed discussion of the code once Version 4 is rock-stable.

The menu look and behavior in the download is only one of many possible look-behavior combinations. The parameters discussed in columns 36 --> 42 achieve menu customization. Please familiarize yourself with these.

Most of the Version 3-related FAQ apply to Version 4. Please check these for a possible answer to your problem.

I cannot emphasize this enough!

95% of the HM4 problem mail asks questions answered literally years ago in the FAQ. A good 30% of the mail asks FAQ #1. Another 30% asks FAQ #6. Please take the time to peruse the FAQ. You will save your own precious time.

With the volume of mail regarding HM, a reply will probably not be possible. All problems reported, however, will be considered.
